YMMV, I am a cook not a CBJ:
1) Thank you for trying this and posting
2) I do not think the pulled adds anything to the equation, unless it tasted totally awesome.
3) Color is always hard to gauge in pictures, but it does look generally 'darkish'. I do like red tones personally (instead of the lighter golds sometimes seen on chicken) but it appears a bit dark perhaps.
4) So ... the bones look really bad. I am not sure what the 'answer' here is, but you have not found it. Whatever you can do to keep all the bone foiled would help. Making sure you have a clean removal at the joint would help (rather than whacking for the sake of space which is what I presume happened.) Frankly, I can see how someone would look at those bones and say, "are bone fragments in this box somewhere?"
All that being said, I do want to sample some! and I think it is a 7 to me.
